Many times, while working online, we are prompted to enter our email address.

Will be nice, If I could create a shortcut, say something like CTRL+Shift+$ sign, that can retrieve a previously created item with my enmail address, and insert it into the current prompted input field.

Any idea? I checked in the KDE setup under Hardware->Keyboard, but....

Thanks
Alex

Yeah, and the vast majority of those are ignored - I very rarely find myself typing an email (and it's usually one designated for the specific service I'm using).

But anyway...

The browser version of what you're asking about is called autofill - see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...ly-fills-forms

If you don't like how that works, perhaps the clipboard manager can do it for you - for KDE that's Klipper. It has a thing called clipboard actions which I don't really understand but might be able to put text on the clipboard, and then you assign a shortcut of your choice to run that action.

Thanks for the prompt feedback,

1) I am using Chrome, not FireFox - I will check if that function is available
2) The steps need to be something like this:
a) Create a text file with the email addrss in it as a single line
b) Get a keyboard key, to open the content (kind of CTRL+C) and load it into the clipboard
c) Next - do something like CTRL+V to grab the clipboard content and shove it into the field

I will look into the link to the KDE you provided. This by the way, can become useful for other things, not only a shortcut to an email...

Thanks again
Alex
